How to sway them - a story of demons and...

[nonesane]

Hi everyone!

Newbie here, both to scrawlology and NaNo - nice to meet you :)

My plot is still a bit up in the air, but the characters have solidified a lot since I started dabbling with this idea, so I thought I'd give introducing the crazed mass of ideas a try. Feedback much appreciated!

I am very interested to see where this goes :)

Why thank you, so glad to hear that!

Yaay! I told you already over at your LJ, but I'll say it again; I'm really excited for this! Very intriguing idea. Can't wait to see what you do with it ;)

Thank you! Really hope it turns out the way I want it to - haven't really had any time to sit down and write since Tuesday (stress!) but now I've finally got all the scenes planned out (all 40+ of them!) so I at least feel like I know what I'm doing again. I'll do my best to catch up with everyone else tomorrow!

You are hardcore, my friend! I have a vague idea what each chapter is going to be for my story, but I don't actually attempt to map them out until riiiight before sitting down and writing them. XD

And no worries! Most of my 'writing buddies' on the NaNo site are already behind. Ahhh, the crazy joys of NaNo. ;)

I do so love being just this side of OCD! If I'm the least bit serious about actually completing a story - unlike the times when I'm just writing for the hell of it - I always write a detailed plot-outline so I don't forget to hint at things coming up (fooooreeshaaadooowiiiing).

It also helps me figure out the things that don't make sense - and I tell you, there was plenty of unexplained things about this plot before I took the time to work through it all. Motives, dammit! Characters need motives XD

Mind you, I'd love to be able to write a story without first planning the whole thing scene-by-scene; would save a lot of time!
